Chapter 94: The Day of the Acting Commander of the Royal Forest Army (1)

The light was faintly revealed, and Liu Yu got up from the entanglement of four jade arms and put on his clothes, pulled up the sleepy Han sisters, and the family gathered in the side hall for breakfast.

The breakfast was white porridge and crispy cakes, and it was very light. Liu Yu had a bad appetite and only ate a bowl of white porridge. He saw Lu Chuer walking in in a handsome and erect daughter's military uniform, standing straight beside Liu Yu.

"Son-in-law, are you satisfied with this outfit?"

Liu Yu glanced at Lu Chu'er, wondering what was wrong with her. Xiao Cao Zhan jumped off Liu Yu's leg, ran around Lu Chu'er excitedly, and shouted: "Sister Lu is so beautiful!"

Liu Yu asked, "Madame Lu, are you going to go on a blind date?"

Lu Chu'er blushed and said, "Isn't my son-in-law going to inspect the defense of the Imperial Guard today? As a female military captain, he naturally cannot embarrass the female army."

The relationship was to show off again. Liu Yu looked at Xu Xuanzhu. He explained to Xu Xuanzhu last night that because he had been there in the past few days, the emperor specially sent Yang Lie and a group of imperial guards to accompany him, and Lu Chu'er was going to have a few days off.

Xu Xuanzhu smiled and said, "Chu'er, I forgot to tell you that you will be inconvenient to follow your son-in-law these days. You will rest in the mansion and have the time to go around Chang'an City."

It was rare that Lu Chu'er did his job and was disappointed when he heard this, "Ah? General, son-in-law... why don't you let your subordinates go?"

As he was talking, Yang Lie asked for a meeting in front of the mansion, and it was time for Liu Yu to go to work. Before leaving, he gave a special instructions and asked Xu Xuanzhu to remember to send Cao Zhan back to the Marquis' Mansion of Dingguo today.

Liu Yu was wearing a light casual uniform, but Yang Lie was wearing a military uniform and several guards. Because he had to go in and out of many places today, it was inconvenient to ride a horse, so he had to walk along the way.

The first stop today is the Imperial Guard Office in Dongye Gate of the Imperial Palace. The acting commander Liu Yu served on his first day. Yang Lie specially summoned officers from the division and above to receive the lecture. In fact, it was to let everyone know Liu Yu, the right commander and representative commander of the Imperial Guard who saw the head and the tail. In the future, he would be familiar with what he said, and it would be convenient to enter and exit.

Liu Yu had nothing to say to these people, the acting commander had been a monk these days and had been hitting the clock for a few days, because the departments had to patrol and change their posts, and the officers were about to hurry back soon.

After leaving the Imperial Army Office, Liu Yu asked, "Where is the next stop?"

Yang Lie looked puzzled: "Next stop?"

Only then did Liu Yu remember that there were no trains, cars and ships these days, and said that the stations were unified and were stations. Liu Yu explained: "Where will the next place go?"

Yang Lie said with emotion: "Purchase the palace gate."

Liu Yu and Yang Lie both have a calendar, but the calendars on both hands are different. Liu Yu's calendar is a schedule for He Mao to record one-day itinerary, while Yang Lie's calendar summarizes major events in each department of the Imperial Army in three days. Yang Lie is responsible for recording, and Liu Yu needs to submit it to the inner court after returning.

It was not quite hot in the morning, but Liu Yu was very tired when he walked around the palace gate. The main task of the Imperial Army was to guard the palace. Patroling the palace gate was the most basic responsibility and the most boring responsibility. On weekdays, people passed by the palace around and did not even dare to look directly at the palace gate. The ministers entering and leaving the palace gate and the eunuchs responsible for purchasing goods were even more respectful. It was difficult to have a fact at the palace gate.

Even if nothing happened, Yang Lie still had to make a truthful record in his calendar. After inspecting the palace gate, the next stop was to inspect the various officials and yamen in the city. This was also the most troublesome thing for Liu Yu, and he almost ran around the entire Chang'an City.

Liu Yu said: "Master Yang Zuo, can you find a few horses to travel with?"

Yang Liewei said: "This...is not very consistent."

Liu Yu looked up at the rising sun and said impatiently: "According to the rules, should you be sunburned to death by the sun?"

Yang Lie was very sleek and immediately realized that his boss was tired and hot. He asked tentatively: "Why would you like to find a sedan chair for you? If you have a ceiling, find a fan to fan it, which will be much cooler."

Liu Yu didn't want to build his comfort on other people's pain: "It's better to find a Malay, so you can travel faster."

After patrolling the Chang'an City, the yamen and official offices that needed to be guarded by the Imperial Guards, the sun shone directly above the head, which was the hottest time of the day. Because of horse-riding patrols, this line was much faster than expected, and they happened to arrive at the last stop, the Imperial Guards' training camp.

It was the time for dinner, and Liu Yuben was planning to go to the schoolyard to have a meal with the soldiers. As soon as he showed off his waist sign, he saw several people carrying a comatose person on a wooden board to the lounge.

"Heat stroke," Yang Lie explained.

The work of the Royal Guard soldiers is a cycle of eight days, of which four days are responsible for guarding each of the two shifts for six hours, two days of training, and two days of rest to go home to accompany their wives and children. It is summer, and the round-trip training is also the most painful of these eight days. Because the Royal Guard uniforms are very thick, they will sweat even if they stand in the sun in a uniform. Not to mention that with the training of high physical strength, heatstroke is common, and there are many soldiers who die of heatstroke every summer.

Liu Yu stood on the platform in casual clothes, watching the hundreds of imperial guards training below. The training content is much more standardized than that of the Defense Department Office. In addition to basic cutting and stinging at wooden stakes, there are also training subjects such as martial arts competitions and wrestling and rope climbing. Looking at the soldiers' serious training, Liu Yu thought it was no wonder that Su Bi's rebellion was quickly suppressed. Relying on the group of master soldiers in the Defense Department Office Office Office to fight against the well-trained Imperial Guard, several times the strength of the troops would not be at ease.

"It's already noon, why haven't the meal started yet?"

Yang Lie explained: "The rules of the school grounds are to be put on the meal until the time is not yet available. Commander Liu You may have to wait a little longer."

Liu Yu looked at the sun at the head, wiped his sweat and said, "The rules are dead people who live. Send orders to temporarily disband and rest, and have a meal."

"No." Yang Lie said, "Even if the lunch is disbanded, the lunch is not ready, and I can't eat it even if I want to."

Liu Yu said helplessly: "Then send the order to let the trained soldiers take off their uniforms, put on a light body and then come out for training!"

"this……"

"I am the commander now and I need to consider the soldiers under my subordinates. Training is important, but the body is also important. In addition, I ask someone to find a large wooden basin to bring water to the school ground, so that the soldiers will come to drink water every round of training, and drink more water and avoid heatstroke!"

Yang Lie immediately went down to pass the message, and ordered the soldiers to untied their military uniforms and then trained. The soldiers were surprised when they suddenly heard the order. In order not to be too hot, everyone would directly put on their military uniforms. At this time, the untied military uniforms were all shirtless and paired shorts. The scene was spectacular.

After Yang Lie returned from the order, Liu Yu said again: "It's not okay to wear a pair of pants but not a top, it's easy to get exposed to the sun. When you look for someone to uniformly wear a short-sleeved shirt, it's neither hot nor sunny when you put it on."

Yang Lie was confused when he heard this. Liu Yu knew that even he was the commander, so he wrote a memorial to the emperor, describing the disadvantages of soldiers training to wear thick military uniforms in summer, and suggested that a uniform short-sleeved shirt was distributed, so that the uniformity of military soldiers could be guaranteed.

After Liu Yu finished writing the memorial, he wanted to go directly to the palace to meet the emperor. When the old emperor heard that it was Liu Yu asking for a meeting, he specially asked him to go inside first. After reading Liu Yu's memorial, the old emperor smiled and said, "It's rare that Wen Yan, you found the shortcomings of the Imperial Guard when you took office on the first day. I think your advice is very good, but... what is the short-sleeved shirt?"

Liu Yu explained that it was actually chopping off the sleeves of ordinary clothes, so that they could keep them ventilated and cool.

The old emperor said, "Then you can draw a picture and hand it over to the Ministry of War, and order the Ministry of War to be equipped with a short-sleeved shirt. Seeing that the cool summer is coming, the Imperial Army soldiers cannot suffer in the scorching heat."

After coming out of the palace, Yang Lie looked incredible. He did not expect that Liu Yu would solve the problem of a complicated matter by just a simple memorial. With the emperor's promise, it would be a blessing for more than 10,000 imperial guards.

When he returned to the school, it was the time to put the rice. The rice was white rice, and the vegetables were stewed with cabbage and radish. This was a rare and excellent meal in the military camp, but in Liu Yu's opinion, the lunch seemed to be disgusting. Liu Yu ate a few bites, and the dishes were quite salty, which should have been deliberately done to replenish the salt of the soldiers' bodies. Liu Yu sighed in his heart. It seemed that he was not a life of hardship. After coming to ancient times, he felt very frustrated, but compared to being reincarnated at ordinary people, he was already lucky enough to have no worries at least three meals.

After patrolling the school ground, it is equivalent to completing an open patrol mission, and secret patrols, which are the inspections of the Imperial Army Spy Training Center, the Heavenly Prison and the Secret Base. Liu Yu was about to set off when a secret spy came to report:

"Commander, we are catching a criminal who is being interrogated. Please go over and take a look!"

Liu Yu frowned: "Who is it?"

The secret spy said leisurely: "Liu Li Niang!"
